Fox TV's popular but ratings-challenged drama "Dollhouse" has been picked up for a second season, James Hibberd of THR.com is reporting. This is a victory for the many loyal fans of the show, who have been contacting Fox and urging it to renew the Eliza Dushku vehicle.

Hibberd terms the Dollhouse renewal decision "stunning" because the show's ratings are low. But he notes that DVR and online streaming numbers for the Eliza Dushku vehicle are good. And people involved in Dollhouse have been encouraging fans to contact Fox, such as Dushku herself on her Twitter account, twitter.com/ElizaPatricia.

Hibberd says the official announcement of the Dollhouse renewal will be made at the network's upfront presentation on Monday.
